Canon EOS R1 Spotted in the wild at the Monaco GP

First one to point out the obvious learning here: can go to 1/16000 at least … but concerning my - why would the guy (he knows what he’s doing I’m sure) have 125 iso? Is this the base iso? Sony a93 has 250 base iso - so its still better than that for long exposures (I know not the focus)

When a photographer wears a TAG Heuer watch, it's safe to assume he knows a thing or two about his job, too.

He wanted to be at 1.2/8000 and the ISO of 125 gave him his exposure?

I wouldn't overthink it. I set my ISO to be one third stops for fine adjustment when I don't want to mess with my aperture or shutter speed.

A 1-series camera is definitely not going to be the camera that Canon decides to limit ISO speeds on.

The cover also, well, covers the whole shoe, not just the inside! I haven't seen that before.

The R3 cover is the same, but without the locking button. I already lost one cover, and now keep a couple of spares so yay for the locking button!

Whoever says the Canon R3 was not formerly the Canon R1 is crazy ! Now looking at this R1 I’m 110% that was the case

I bought a 10 pack of hot shoe inside covers a few years back because I kept misplacing them. Haven’t lost one since, so I have enough spares

That tinfoil hat looks great on you!

The MP count will make the internet whine, but they weren't buying the camera anyway.

~ or less then 24MP :S?!
Would strange to have the same sensor or pixel count as the R3?!

Be happy you didn't lose a Leica M cover. They cost about $50 apiece. Mine is now held in place thanks to 3M's duct tape...

With a red cap on top of the tinfoil hat...

Looks slick and compact.

I did the same thing, but did manage to loss two of them.

I might be incorrect, but the button next to the WB button appears to be a new feature. I would guess it is a button for cropping given the symbol next to the button. Pure speculation.

Frankly, I really want to see the back of the camera so I can determine if the rear LCD flips upwards.

Planning to trade in my current batch of Canon cameras for a R5 Mk2 and R1 in 2024. Will be my first 1-series purchase since 1Dx Mk2 in 2016.

I am glad they put the strap attachment on the underside of the camera again vs. the R3. Sometimes it is the small things that count.

I am guess that the R1 is going to be significantly heavier than the R3, but still significantly less than my old 1Dx MK2.

The locking one will cost $99 to replace if you lose it. "We fixed the problem and you still lost it tax".

 

[WoodyWindy]

The MP count mentioned (10MP) was for the EVF, not the camera...

(Dr. Frankenstein voice) It's alive!

Ouch. But if I buy the R1, I'll likely buy a replacement cover. I'm fairly certain the R3 cover I 'lost' is somewhere in the room where I keep my camera gear. The lock is great, but hardware improvements can't fix all wetware errors.

 

[bergstrom]

I'm holding out for the R1ii which will be even more gamechanging that this gamechanger.

5000 I hope

Also... that would be mega-dot not necessarily mega-pixels.

I'm just happy to see the R3's delicate viewfinder eyepiece shroud replaced by a more robust R5/R6 style unit.
